19 May, 2017The mission of the International Labour Organization (ILO) is to promote social justice and internationally recognized human and labour rights, based on the founding principle that social justice is essential to universal and lasting peace.
Established in 1919 as part of the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War 1, it is the only tripartite United Nations agency - bringing together governments, employers and workers representatives from its 187 member states.
The International Labour Office, the ILO’s secretariat, employs some 2,700 people from 150 countries at its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and in around 40 countries around the world. Its activities are directed by the Director-General and the ILO’s Governing Body, which includes representatives from member states, workers’ and employers’ groups.
Decent Work Agenda
As part of its mission, the ILO aims to achieve decent work for all by promoting social dialogue, social protection and employment creation, as well as respect for international labour standards. The ILO provides technical support to more than 100 countries to help achieve these aims, with the support of development partners.
International labour standards
The ILO sets international labour standards with Conventions, which are ratified by member states, or Recommendations, which are non-binding.
Conventions are drawn up with input from governments, workers’ and employers’ groups at the ILO. Conventions are adopted by the International Labour Conference, which meets every year in Geneva.
In ratifying an ILO Convention, a member state accepts it as a legally binding instrument. Many countries use the Conventions as a tool to bring national laws in line with international standards.
